$A$ diagnostic test has a probability of $0.95$ of giving a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a certain disease and a probability of $0.10$ of giving a positive result when given to a non-sufferer. It is estimated that $0.5 \%$ of the population are suffering from the disease. If this test is administered to a person from this population about whom there is no information relating to the incidence of this disease and the test gives a positive result, then the probability that the person is a sufferer is:
